Bättre ljud och lite "bättre" låtar på SoundCloud. https://soundcloud.com/gunnar-f…/…/psalmodikon-med-nygammalt
I guess I have almost mailbombat page with songs. We are, in fact, many members, and I'm guessing that most of the play. I think it would be fun to hear more!

Instead of mail-bomb this page, I thought I put up a few playlists hear in this place. Once and for all.
It will be partly my brother Erik, that focuses on the older psalmböckerna. 1937-Year-old hymnal but mainly maybe they really, really old. On some songs he uses bow, on the other not. According to tradition.

First a list I made on soundcloud with Erik's songs. https://soundcloud.com/gunnar-fredelius/sets/erik-fredelius
Not only, but mostly, psalmodicon

Since a youtubelista https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDo4JMdJQIuez7vFMKf79-8HGr4XkKE3x
I'm playing a and other spiritual song, but my focus is on folk music. Among other things, I know the songs played at psalmodicon spelmanstävlingar in the early 1900th century. Even in our family was played once upon a time to dance on psalmodicon, on the sly :)

I have some psalmodicon on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDo4JMdJQIueJu-nGYuR_Qz948ZwPYTQ4
Better sound and a little "better" songs on soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/gunnar-fredelius/sets/psalmodikon-med-nygammalt

Någon kanske frågar sig varför jag pratar hummel och psalmodikon i samma andetag. Svaret är att termerna använts så oprecist så när det står långharpa eller långspel i äldre källor, så vet vi inte vad som avsågs. Om hummel var så vanligt som man får intryck av, så varför finns inte flera bevarade? För att de förstördes under den tid på 1800-talet, och i en del landsändar ända in under min levnad? Det bidrar nog, men många nyckelharpor och fioler överlevde... Å andra sidan så överlevde nyckelharpan främst i Uppland. För att den bara fanns där säger några då. Men den finns omnämnd även på andra ställen. Inte vet jag om den religiösa instrumentutplånarivern var mindre i Uppland än tex Västergötland och Norrbotten, där ett par speciella rörelser ju var starka... Psalmodikon var det vanligaste instrumentet i stugorna under en tid. De spreds ju just för att användas till andlig musik. Men för den som tidigare spelat tex hummel, eller fått sin fiol uppeldad, kliade det nog i fingrarna att spela låtar på psalmodikonet, när ingen alltför folkmusikfientlig var i närheten. / [Some may wonder why I'm talking hummel and psalmodicon in the same breath. The answer is that the terms used so imprecise so when it says långharpa or långspel in older sources, so we do not know what it was intended. If Hummel was as common as you get the impression, so why aren't more preserved? Because they were destroyed during the time in the 1800 s, and in some tracts of all the way in during my life? It helps, I think, but many nyckelharpor and violins survived... on the other hand so survived the nyckelharpa mainly in uppland. Because it was only a few say that then. But it is also mentioned in other places. I don't know if the religious instrumentutplånarivern was less in uppland than tex västergötland and norrbotten, where a couple of special movement was strong... Psalmodicon was the most common instrument in the cottages for a period of time. They spread precisely in order to be used for spiritual music. But for the one who previously played Tex Hummel, or had his violin pumped, scratched it in my fingers to play songs on psalmodikonet, when no one is too folkmusikfientlig was in the neighborhood.]

About Me

I'm a retired English, journalism and cultural studies teacher at Springfield College in Illinois (acquired by Benedictine University and subsequently closed). I coordinate jam sessions for the "Clayville Pioneer Academy of Music" at Clayville Historic Site and the Prairieland Strings dulcimer club, and I sing in the choir and the contemporary praise team at Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield. On Hogfiddle I post links and video clips for our sessions and workshops on the mountain dulcimer (a.k.a. "hog fiddle"), as well as research notes on folklore and cultural studies, hymnody and traditional Anglo-Celtic and Scandinavian music. I also posted assignments and readings in my interdisciplinary humanities classes. The Mackerel Wrapper (now on hiatus), carried assignments and readings for my mass comm. students. I started teaching b/log when I chaired SCI-Benedictine's assessment committee, and reopened it as the privatization of public schools grew increasingly troubling and closer to home.
